Praise
- It was a busy week (all two days of it)! But I love busy! I know that I keep including this, but being at one school makes a world of difference. I am in so many classrooms. Teachers are able to reach me more because they know that I am here daily. And students know my name! (which is the absolute best part)
Potential Speed Bumps (not really problems)
I can't pinpoint specific issues to accomplishing the plan for the week. We'll deal with any that may come up.
